Bottom line: so what?
Whether they're more violent isn't the issue here. And it's not whether they may compose higher numbers than us either. (FYI, I just think ours are medicated for the past 8 years)
Because what you, calcowgirl and others have correctly pointed out remains...the democratic party voter has the opportunity to not choose Barack Obama, vote McCain... and still feel like his issues will be addressed maturely.
Given that REALITY, I disagree with your feeling it will only amount to 'three million votes'. Voters are going to stampede away from Obama.
Let's just say its a relevant issue - given that (quite arguably ;>) YOU are trying to persuade the "wacky RIGHT" to vote for YOUR candidate, on the basis that YOU say he/she/it can WIN the election.
Numbers count, sport. If not, why do you need my vote?

(LOL! There's a winning argument, if I ever saw one! 'Vote the way I suggest, because I think you've received more 'medication' over the last 8 years than the Stalinists!' How about if you kiss my 'small-r' republican @ss? ;>)

And what you have NEVER addressed remains as well - every elected official (or nominated candidate) is a servant of the people, not vice versa. To paraphrase William Rawle (http://www.constitution.org/wr/rawle_32.htm), 'to deny that fact would be inconsistent with the principle on which all our political systems are founded, which is, that the people have in all cases, a right to determine how they will be governed.' Mr. McCaine works for us - we do NOT work, and NEVER will work, for him. Period.
Voters are going to stampede away from Obama
Let's hope so. With folks like you promoting Mr. McCaine, using arguments such as you employ ("ours are medicated for the past 8 years"), I'm not so sure...
